The Charity Chip by Brock Booher

Life on the streets of Lima is already difficult for Julio, but now that digital money has replaced hard currency, survival is virtually impossible. Isak comes to his rescue and offers him a chance at a better life through a hi-tech humanitarian program.

The only catch is a microchip implanted between the thumb and forefinger of the hand.

At first life improves dramatically, but when another participant dies mysteriously, Julio suspects that the chip does more than just dispense charity.

Nothing comes without a price. Now he must uncover the truth behind the charity chip before someone else suffers the same fate.
